IT BUILDS!! And what builds you might ask? Phoenix does of course. And what is Phoenix you ask? Well... Phoenix is a light-weight (compared to his "papa") browser, based on Mozilla. It uses the XUL user interface language and is designed to be cross-platform. For more info on it, you can head over to the Phoenix site.

So what you ask? Well, Bezilla.org's own Arougthopher (nickname Paul) has managed to get it to build under BeOS. Yes i know, it is great news. Let me paste some of his words for your reading pleasure:

"Well, with a little work, I was able to get Phoenix to build on my box. In fact, I'm writing this article in the Phoenix browser under BeOS. Being that this is a debug build, however, I can't really comment on speed (all debug builds are slow :-) So, I have a patch I need to put up on BugZilla. Then, there are two things I would like to get implemented in Mozilla for BeOS, before I make a public build ..."

And that's not all! Now for your viewing pleasure, click right here for a screenshot of Phoenix running under BeOS.

That's really great news folks, Paul's been doing a terrific job and now this. Choice is a Good Thing (tm), like they say, the more the merrier. And Phoenix really ROCKS!
